Video Pick: The Rise of the Single Woman in America

Rebecca Traister joins Bill Maher to discuss her book, “All the Single Ladies,” and the increasing political and social power of unmarried women in America.

On June 17, 2016, book author and journalist Rebecca Traister was a guest on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” and told the never-married Maher how circumstances have changed for single women in America and how they will play a key role as a voting bloc in the upcoming presidential election.

Although not everyone agrees with the political leanings of Traister or Maher, there’s no disputing that most women are no longer dependent on men in order to enjoy social and economic security and when they do marry, it’s a choice, not a necessity.
